chinstrap's

[joerookery]

I've gotten quite a few questions recently about where you find original chin straps. I don't know. I am sure there are members here who share the frustrations and long searches. I am including this example of a chin strap. That was sold in Germany for €106.

Joe- I have gone to purchasing old beat up beater helmets just to get original chinstraps.

Originals do pop up on Ebay from time to time, but expect to pay in the $200 range and up to get one.

I know of no dealer that has a stockpile of these, and if someone does know where a bunch are, let me know.
